Hi Daisy,
I hate feeling needy and dependent on someone, which is probably a major factor in why in therapy I refuse to talk about certain issues.
My T keeps telling me that she won't judge me, nothing I say will cause her to abandon me, but the words (and definitely never tears) just don't come out.
As she says, we have a relationship, it's okay to depend on that relationship, so I guess that's her way of saying it's okay to feel needy. I'm not ready to accept it, but I am nowhere close to the progress you've made in therapy, so please let yourself lean on your T. Don't beat yourself up for feeling needy.
((((Daisy))))
